    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I support it. Let me bring to the attention of the House the fact that the House has been very emphatic in demonising the actions of the Leader of the Majority Party. However, let us also appreciate that were it not for the Leader of the Majority Party, this Motion would not be before the House today. It was the Leader of the Majority Party in consultation with the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade who sought to have this Motion brought back this afternoon. Those of us who are anti-betting would like to suggest that in the next Finance Bill, we should allow Members to engage with the National Treasury to have a clear analysis of the impact of social ills and economic gains that this country is deriving from betting. Therefore, I want to ask that some of the proposals that we had brought, including taxation of consumers and not the investors, be considered in the next Finance Bill. I support."
